Section 1 – CHEMICAL PRODUCT

PRODUCT NAMEFSC TIMBER VENEER

SYNONYMS‘stained craft wood’, ‘medium density fi breboard’, ‘MDF’, ‘fi bre board’

PRODUCT USEGeneral purpose wood fi breboard for furniture/cabinet making, and internal wall panelling. Depending on age of board, formaldehyde odour may reappear on machining because of exposure of fresh surfaces by sawing, routing.When cutting with blunt tools or when cutting speeds are low more formaldehyde is given off as heat developed starts to decompose the urea formaldehyde glue.

Section 1 – CHEMICAL PRODUCT

PRODUCT NAMEINTERIOR POLYURETHANE GLOSS RANGE

SYNONYMSGloss, Satin, Matt

PROPER SHIPPING NAMEPAINT or PAINT RELATED MATERIAL

PRODUCT USE■ Used according to manufacturer’s directions. The use of a quantity of material in an unventilated or confi ned space may result in increased

exposure and an irritating atmosphere developing. Before starting consider control of exposure by mechanical ventilation.

Section 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE

PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING■ – DO NOT allow clothing wet with material to stay in contact with skin. – Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation. – Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. – Use in a well-ventilated area. – Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps.

SUITABLE CONTAINER■ – Polyethylene or polypropylene container. – Packing as recommended by manufacturer. – Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.

STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY■ – Avoid reaction with oxidising agents.

STORAGE REQUIREMENTS■ – Store in original containers. – Keep containers securely sealed. – No smoking, naked lights or ignition sources. – Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.

Section 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING CONTROLS■ Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the

hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection.

The basic types of engineering controls are: Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk. Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard ‘physically’ away from

the worker and ventilation that strategically ‘adds’ and ‘removes’ air in the work environment.

Question 7 (4 marks)


Section 13 – DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

■ Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/or territory. Each user must refer to laws operating in their area.

A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common – the user should investigate: – Reduction. – DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains. – It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal. – In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and these

should be considered fi rst. – Where in doubt contact the responsible authority. – Recycle wherever possible. – Consult manufacturer for recycling options or consult local or regional waste management

authority for disposal if no suitable treatment or disposal facility can be identifi ed. – Dispose of by: burial in a land-fi ll specifi cally licenced to accept chemical and/or

pharmaceutical wastes or incineration in a licenced apparatus (after admixture with suitable combustible material).

– Decontaminate empty containers. Observe all label safeguards until containers are cleaned and destroyed.
